How to Make Smoked Deer Sausage! 

Jacoby is so sweet he looked so scared at the end what a polite little boy

Jacoby is so sweet and shy well mannered young man. Bless his parents. Sausage looks good.

just some help full tips. weather doing deer or moose, the best mix is 50% pork un-trimed butts or shoulders and 50% deer or moose. it needs that much. after mixing in your spices you need to add a little water, set it in the fridge for 24 hours or more so your spices go thought the meat and do its job,, when you open the fridge after 24 hours, you will have this amazing great smell. as for the casings weather its real pig gutts or the artificial ones, they need to sock in a lite salt water a few hours before use. after you stuff the casings. at every 6 to 8 inchs squeeze the meat a part a bit, and twist the casing 5 or 6 time, and repeat down the casing. when smoking, hang them in the smoker, dont lay them flat on a grill. smoke for minimum of 4 hours no hotter then 125 to 130 this is a must in order to get that smoke threw an threw.. the thicker the meat the much longer.. .. then finish off to internal temp at 165 to 170 F.. i use my own mix of spices and lots of fresh garlic.. not the powder junk

Jacoby is so shy, just like me when I was his age, but he's a cutie.

Since Bella approved, you can honestly say it was Lab tested.

Thank you for sharing the Arms family life. May GOD continue to bless your journey in this life .

Good Evening to Arms Family Homestead and all others too!

Instead of running back and forth between freezer and the grinder the meat could sit on a tub of ice cubes to stay firm

Daniel, as a chef and a person involved in this kinda stuff, you have done it right. Keep up the great content.

I love Jacoby! Thank you all for sharing your life. In these hards times. We are encouraged. To keep the faith. God is with us!

im a butcher for 25 years . i think with what you had as for your grinder and stuffer you did a really good job.

EmmaLee has such a positive attitude. That sausage looks awesome. Yummmmm.

One more inch of beard Daniel, qualifies you for "Mountain Man" status.

To quote EmmaLee when she was hunting..."Good Lord, I'm hungry!" 😋

Liked the way Emmalee helped you out stuffing the sausage, looks yummie!

Jacoby, that baby was so embarrassed! Good to see him on the channel! Sausages looked great! 👍🏼

We love little Jacobe he's such a sweetheart and very well mannered young man. YOUR Sausage looks Delicious

I never get tired of seeing that sweet boy Jacoby’s face and his smile is everything!!! Snausage looks delish (spelled that way on purpose). 🦌🐽🐷

We make our own sausages also. One tip...after mixing and seasoning we always leave it set in the fridge for 24 hours to let the seasonings blend through the meat better. After the 24 hours then we vacuum pack and freeze.

Jacoby is shy when it comes to saying the end. Which he did a wonderful job. Loved the video

Hey arm family homestead hope you have a wonderful weekend

if your reading this have a wonderful week!

A trick to retain the heat in your Pit Boss pellet grill is to lay a fireproof blanket over the top. It makes a HUGE difference when grilling in cold weather. The fire blankets are often part of a trucker safety kit.

Shout out to the bearded butchers love those guys

My favorite part of making sausage is stuffing the casings, keeping the meat cold is the secret to a good run, great video buddy

Haha, so often you start with, "today we are going to start with something just a little bit different".

We’ve got the same kitchen aid meat grinder. We use it to to mix 80/20 venison to pork fat as well with our grind meat off the deer. Works awesome and makes the best burgers

Jacoby and Houston were so cute. The sausages looked amazing.💕💕

It's great to have the kids involved in the sausage making. Not only are they learning where it comes from but also what it takes for it to be yummy!

Love The Bearded Butchers. Never felt .ore therapeutic watching 2 dudes butcher an animal 😂 Twist every 5 or 6 inches and make links, and they will curle better and be a little easier to proportion. Looks amazing!

I love this channel , great job to Arms Family Homestead, keep up your excellent content! Great to see you all again.

Looks great..I do the same way...When i try a new seasoning...i take some of the meat and cook some up in a skillet..Test your seasoning that way. ...Your making great memories...Thanks for letting us, come along for the ride..

MMMmmm. That sure looked good. I was waiting to hear DeJay say "SOO GOOOD". At least she liked it Daniel. Good video, more please!

Just love Jacoby and Huston together, they make such great friends. Like the saying goes brothers to the end, brothers from another mother. 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Daniel that looks so good I just want to reach through the screen and grab a piece lol.

Smoked meat sounds so good right now! Have a great week. Something to think about is when stuffing the casing, every 5 or 6 inches give the casing a twist to set the length of the sausage links! It will also help with storing the links.

My father used to cube deer meat & can it. It made a great quick meal. I think DeJay would like it. He'd simply open up a jar and heat it in a pan & make a gravy right in the pan with it, then he'd serve it over egg noodles! It was very yummy! It was also good right out of the jar and in fact, he would take a jar with him on his hunting trips & eat it for a snack, while stuck up in his tree stand for hours! Thanks for the sausage making lesson. -Take care

We used to do all that with a hand crank grinder that was attached to a counter top and never thought twice about it. Good eats!!!

Very nicly done. I like taking a recipe like this, adding pink curing salt thinner lamb casing and making shelf stable slim Jims. An extra treat in your hunting pack

I've never eaten deer but your pork/deer mixture sounds tasty. Being everyone approved the taste means you picked the right seasoning. Enjoyed seeing how sausage is made. Thanks for all your hard work to bring us such quality videos.

You are talking to my tummy. This combo is my favorite. I like garlic seasoning. You did it just right

Wow, you upload this while Im eating smoked venison sausage! 😂😂😂😂😂

The way they scarf that down you might want to put more than 5 in a pack!!!! I Love how you guys include Jacoby like part of the family!!!! Best Channel Out There!!!!!! My Opinion!!!!! God Bless!!!!!

I love watching you and your family. We just got goats a month or so ago and your channel has really helped us out.

My brother has a fish market and he makes fish jerky and sausage.. it is AMAZING.. smoke thin fillers of anything, but our favorite was catfish, until its jerky!! Don't forget the brown sugar while smoking!! And the sausage he used male carp, brine them over night, grind them, add seasoning, stuff and smoke!!

love the channel keep it up

Good video!!! When my dad and his family made sausage in the old days, they would fry up a sample of the product , to see how it tasted, before stuffing the casings, so there were no surprises when tasting the whole batch for the first time. That way they could adjust the spices to taste.

You should do some turkey hunting with Emily and Houston in the spring

My Dad used to make his own sausage and ground the meat by hand with an old fashioned meat grinder. He also made the best dried beef I ever had!! You guys did an awesome job for your first try! Look like it was a hit with everyone in the house.

You are blessed with many "hats" Daniel.. chef fits you well too👨‍🍳 that looks scrumptious.. Farm to table is a beautiful thing when you can provide for your family... 💜

Don't think there will be enough to package up with Houston enjoying it! Loveyou jacoby at the end!

Look really good. Love making deer sausage. Thanks for sharing and y’all have a safe and bless evening. From South Louisiana

I have been wondering if the kids help with prepping the deer meat and now I know. Emma Lee was a good helper on the stuffing. I have also been watching the bearded butchers and enjoy them alot.

We call 'em deer dogs in Missouri. Those looked good Daniel! Jacobi, you have the cutest dimples. You did a good job closing out the video.

I can remember watching my Grandparents make sausage. They used a hand grinder and my Grandpa would break a bottle leaving the neck and a little bit of shoulder, grind down the sharp edges and place the casing (yes, pig intestines) over the neck and stuff from the other end. Good memories.

The sausage looked absolutely fabulous Guys, enjoyed it! Stay blessed, have a wonderful night!🙏🤝

That looks so delicious I would love it. I also love deer summer sausage with some pork.

I love deer hunting and squirrel hunting I think you guys should try it they taste amazing!!!!! God bless the new month for you and everyone else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sausage looks delicious, amount of seasoning absolutely right...keep it cooled and keep it simple.... Seems you fully embrace your life-roles, with all the trimmings: State Trooper, Donkey Poodle Rancher, Pig Farmer and now: Bearded Butcher....(sorry couldn't resist) Jacobi is so sweet and funny: "It's your turn to wrap up that Video...." Jacobi: quickly stuffing his mouth with sausage.... Had a good laugh! Y'all, stay joyful, happy and healthy and keep making videos! Good bless you all..

You need a 👕 that says "I MEAN ". DJ's saying when asked how she likes various meats Daniel cooks especially when deer meat is used !!! Blessings to my Favorite FAMILY !!!

We have a 170 acre farm in Southern Illinois. We don’t live on the farm, but rent out the farm land and play on the rest. So fishing and hunting are big hobbies for my family. My husband, son, grandsons and granddaughters all fish and hunt. I prefer beef to deer, but do like my families deer sausage. The grandkids ages are 8 - 19 years. So every year between the deer meat they hunt and a few close friends (those they trust their meat is well cleaned and good) make brats, summer sausage, smoked sausage and little smokies. It is two days of man bonding! My husband and son have the place and equipment. They usually end up with about 1,000 - 1,200# of meat. They do a 60/40 mix. 60% pork, 40% deer. You might want to add about 1/2 cup cold water or apple juice to your sausage mix to help distribute seasonings through the meat when mixing. They only grind twice. However, they weigh out the pork and deer then grind together course. Mix in spices (they have a secret recipe past down from my grandfather) with a gallon of liquid per 100# of meat and grind on finer blade. Then mix in cheese or ground apple, mushrooms and Swiss cheese or Monterey cheese and finely chopped or ground jalapeño pepper... We now have an electric mixer. It mixes up to 150 lbs of meat, but used to hand mix, grind and stuff. Should not over grind. We cold smoke our meat. Then portion, vacuum seal and freeze. Summer sausage and smokies are hung to air dry in cool well ventilated area for about 6 weeks. Try adding some liquid when mixing in your spices. Your sausage looked very tasty!

Hey, a Callie sighting when you were smoking! Cool! She was up and around in the background

14:05 Jima sprints back into the darkness 🤣🤣🤣

Your a good man and a Great dad.

I make homemade sausage all the time and you did a great job. It looks like you had such a good time that I bet within the next year you’ll have a proper stuffer and grinder.

Another great video I always hit the thumbs up before I can watch it cuz I know it's going to be good

When your stuffing the casing when you get to a 5 inch sausage give it a few twists. Then continue with the next sausage, makes it stay juicy while your cooking it. Hi to all and Be safe.

Watching you make deer sausage was fun. To see your wife try the deer sausage and say she likes the taste of the deer sausage. Love you guys. 🥰♥️💞

So glad that the seasoning came out to your liking ! If you ever decide to change up the seasonings, I'll tell you what we've done to prevent spoiling a whole batch of sausage. Once you get have seasoned your meat. Make a small sausage patty and fried up and taste it and correct the seasonings as needed before putting them in your casings. First batch of deer sausage we made was too bland because we didn't taste it before filling the casings. We also would go to The butchers and purchase large quantities of bacon ends (smoked if they had them)10 lb and 20 lb boxes to have on hand to use for our deer sausage and hamburgers. Makes the best burgers and sausage in my opinion. The boys are growing up so fast getting to be young men. It's nice to see Jacoby on again. So glad everybody is healthy and happy. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you and your families.

We made summer sausage and brats with our pigs and deer they turned out great!

Looks delicious. Great video. I am looking forward to when your Arms Family Homestead deer jerkey and sausage goes on sale on the website. lol

Looks delicious. We make our own as well. That kitchen aid did pretty good but if you are going to do quite a bit a sausage stuffer will be very handy. Love your videos

Great learning video! So Chef Daniel, when will the cookbook be ready? Lol lol your retirement has given you more time to do more adventures! You are so great with your family and Jacoby

That sausage looks yummy.Hope all is well.Love seeing Huston and Jacoby on there too.

Looks fantastic my mouth is watering just watching you guys cook it and eat it

We used cotton string to tie our ends, plus we didn't make the lengths so long. If you are ending one piece and starting another tie off one end and give it a twist and then tie the new end and the cut in the middle.

A hint if you put your pans on a damp towel while you mix they will not slide all over. looks great.

Jacoby did great. He is so adorable.

That seasoning is awesome, they sell it in tubs, so that says something right there, the black is really good too

Ive never made it that way , very interesting! Ive just mixed pork fat and sausage season, for breakfast, i like it as well as straight pork sausage, my buddy mixed beef fat with beaver , made a good burger , he was the trapper , i was the deer hunter . But we gave each other what we fixed up

YES, YES, YES,!!!!! BEST THING ABOUT DEER SEASON !!!!! Use to love every deer season cuz my Dad an his Buddies would get together an make everyone smoke meats, sausages an everything else you could think of. An that's what we'd have till next season. Got question?? Did ya have fresh deer liver an onions when you got the first one?? That was a big Tradition with us, especially over a campfire.!! 👍👍👍

Love the videos and definitely going to try this recipe out just bought a grinder with a sausage stuffer so it should be fun

Sounds like you hut a home run!! Good job dad💜💙❤💚💙💛😊

That looks so yummy. I like the grease run, too!!! LOL Jacoby is adorable. You should give him more camera time to get him used to it. Those boys are just precious!

yes that was so cool to make your own stuff...and thanks for another great video.

Machine comes in handy! Helps out a lot!

That's so amazing nice ending Jacobi. Lot of work end results are worth it. Thanks for sharing.

Them boys are so handsome. And lucky to have all that open outdoors to run and play. Kids these days it’s hard to get one outdoors. Stay safe guys.

I love this video. On thing I like to make is summer sausage. Last year I mixed my venison with breakfast sausage (hot and mild). With the hot , I added brown sugar, for some sweet and spicy, for the mild I added dry ranch seasoning, both tasted amazing. Also search dear backstrap cream cheese swiss roll, another tasty treat!

i love your guys vidoe keep up the good work tell houston i said hiy

i am going to try that!!! thanks for the video!! imagine getting a reply from my favorite youtubers! (Arms Family Homestead)

Oh my goodness those smoked sausages look so good, it made my mouth water! Thanks for sharing the process. Yummy! 😁

Good on you Jacobi for finishing the video

If you put the mixer in the sink it is a lot closer to the counter. Also you should use the mixer with the paddle and immulsify ice water into the mixture. That will give you a smooth product. Great job by the way.

That look yummy! I do not eat much venison, but would eat those sausage. Beautiful! You really know how the prepare n cook venison and a lot of things! A man after my heart! Thanks

This brings back great memories of my father whom I helped make smoked sausages years ago. What I remember him doing is stuffing and then twisting at the length he wanted the sausages to be and then continuing to stuff the casing. I also think he soaked his casings ahead of time. We also had an old smoke house that he hung meat in to smoke. I also remember him having to work very fast at it. Like the meat mixture would come very quickly. I remember lots of laughing going on. They look delicious. (Brenda)

I really want some of that.say hi to Houston for me.

Oh, Jacoby can sure put a smile on one's face =) . Nice video Daniel, that sure looked delish. Thanks for sharing and God bless..

Looks soo good!!! Good job guys!

We really like the leggs blend #10 sausage seasoning if you want some ideas you can order it but our local country store used to carry it but had to order off amazon last time

My KitchenAid worked great. Made about 50lbs of deer sausage of different varieties. Next purchase is a mixer. My hands freeze every time. Lol.
